Doobie Diary

Post by doobie »

Whooo hoooo all done... rear calipers and new hoses on the back,new flexi's on the front bleed all the yucky old fluid out and she is done...hmmm better adjust the handbrake...
Thats the lot she is ready for her mot now...and four days early... You dont seem to notice how bad your brakes are getting till you fix them .
I was driving home down the a14 and the traffic stopped a bit sharpish... so on with the brakes and b*gger me all four wheels lock up... clouds of smoke and that luvverly rubber smell hmmm . My lady (who was following me) nearly smacked up the back of me i stopped so quick lol.
So before you go spending all that money on new brakes check the old ones are actually working right .... the way i look at it is if the brakes can lock at 80 ish they are better than the tyres so up-grading them would be to no advantage ....
Gonna clean her tomoz see how sparkly she comes up.....the saga continues pmsl...
